Maxwell Plummer

I'm a second-year Ph.D. student in mathematics at Rice University, advised by Chris Leininger. Before Rice I completed a B.S. in mathematics at the University of Utah (graduated 2022). My interests are broadly in geometric topology and geometric group theory. More specifically, I like to think about free-by-cyclic groups, Out(F_n), 3-manifolds, and pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms.
